Hi I'm Kate from Devon uk

[Kate23]

Hi I have been on NRAS for about 6 months now , just lurking around and gleaning lots of info for the most part...was diagnosed with RA in 2014 but had the pain, swelling, fatigue for a couple of years prior..I have great support from my partner and family and we have a Tibetan Terrier and a Cairn Terrier which keeps us out and about.

Hiya, nice to see you here , get rehoused photo ! Enjoy the site and keep well x

[Kate23 in reply to allanah]

Erm! How do you rehouse a photo? I thought it was going into the little bubble!

[allanah in reply to Kate23]

You will learn that I constantly do lots of typos !!! Rubbish hands lol !! Think it meant I love your photo !! Xx lol 😀😂

[Kate23 in reply to allanah]

Thank you, I thought 're-house my photo' ? Must be jargon I hadn't learnt!...so you've given me a good chuckle. My fingers are a problem as well,.My latest 'couldn't do' was sharpen my eye pencil! xx

[allanah in reply to Kate23]

Now THAT is a serious problem !!

[Kate23 in reply to allanah]

I know! ?..sounds feeble but Sometimes it's the little things that irritate! ...like not buying a tooth brush with a round handle as it just swivels in my hands, (no grip!)

We live in Devon but take the caravan up to Yorkshire 3-4 times a year (hubby hales from there) and sitting for hours then getting out the car and can't hurry to the loo at service stations because your bones are creaking is another irritation, trying to live within your boundaries when just a couple of years ago you were fit and full of energy is probably my biggest irritation!

[allanah in reply to Kate23]

Indeed , we have a caravan too and go around all over , just takes lots of time due to lots of stretching stops!
